SAMUEL CONTI, District Judge.

STIPULATION

WHEREAS, on January 31, 2014, Plaintiffs in the above captioned action filed a Consolidated Amended Complaint ("CAC") (Dkt. No. 52)1;

WHEREAS, pursuant to a stipulated briefing schedule, Defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss (Dkt. No. 60), which was set for hearing on August 22, 2014;

WHEREAS, on August 20, 2014, the Court vacated the hearing on Defendants' Motion to Dismiss and stated that the Motion will be decided on the papers without oral argument (Dkt. No. 67);

WHEREAS, a Case Management Conference is currently set for September 19, 2014;

WHEREAS, the parties agree that any case management conference in this matter would be premature and would not benefit the Court or the parties both because discovery is stayed and because Defendants' Motion to Dismiss is currently pending;

WHEREAS, the parties further agree that, for the same reasons, the selection of an ADR process under Civil Local Rule 16-8 and ADR Local Rule 3-5 would be premature and would not benefit the Court or the parties;

1. The September 19, 2014 Case Management Conference shall be taken off calendar, to be rescheduled after the Court issues an Order on Defendants' pending Motion to Dismiss.

2. The deadline for the filing of the ADR Certification and the Stipulation to ADR Process or Notice of Need for ADR Phone Conference shall be extended to 21 days before the continued Case Management Conference, if any.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.

ORDER

Pursuant to the stipulation of the parties, the September 19, 2014 Case Management continued to Friday, December 12, 2014, at 10:00 AM. A joint case management Conference is statement shall be due no later than December 5, 2014.

Further, the deadline under Civil Local Rule 16-8 and ADR Local Rule 3-5 for the filing of the ADR Certification and the Stipulation to ADR Process or Notice of Need for ADR Phone Conference is hereby extended to 21 days before the continued Case Management Conference, if any.

FootNotes


1. On October 15, 2013, six competing movants, including Joseph W. Vale ("Vale"), filed motions to consolidate three substantially similar actions (Lin et al. v. ECOtality, Inc. et al. [No. 13-CV-03791], Cohen v. ECOtality, Inc. et al. [No. 13-cv-03840], and Fleming v. Brar et al. [No. 13-cv-45679]), to appoint the movants as lead plaintiff, and to approve the movants' selection of lead counsel. On December 13, 2013, the Court issued an order consolidating the three actions, appointing Joseph Vale as Lead Plaintiff, and approving Vale's selection of Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP as lead counsel. (Dkt. No. 47.)
